Vicodin is a popularly prescribed drug that is most often abused as a recreational drug.
Vicodin is a narcotic pain reliever that is a mixture of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. It is the most popular opiate in the United States, prescribed for pain and abused for recreation.
Vicodin is an opiate that is highly addictive. Because it is not regulated as much as other prescription drugs, distribution is more extensive. It can be found on the streets with ease, and one in five teenagers has tried Vicodin. Some will become addicted.
Vicodin is the resulting combination of hydrocodone, which is a synthetic opiate, and acetaminophen, a non-steroidal pain reliever. Hydrocodone is responsible for the euphoric and addictive nature of the drug Vicodin. Hydrocodone comes from codeine and is an opiate that is derived from the poppy plant.
Vicodin abuse has long-term effects that can steal an individual’s health and well-being. Many people become addicted to Vicodin before they even realize it. They may have begun using the drug to manage their short-term pain, but then find that they are mentally and physically caught in a cycle of addiction and abuse that they never expected. With time, the addiction and fear of withdrawal sickness often cause a slow mental and moral decline that needs to be addressed professionally in order to regain wellness.
It is very possible to overdose when taking Vicodin. The symptoms of Vicodin overdose typically are convulsions and seizures, which could potentially lead slipping into a coma. Alcohol is hazardous to use in conjunction with Vicodin as it may increase the probability of an overdose.
When a person abuses Vicodin for prolonged periods of time, there are increased risks that need to be addressed. When a Vicodin user becomes addicted, other changes within the body are set into motion. Much of this is due to the pain people experience when they stop taking the drug Vicodin. They can become rude to loved ones and untrustworthy as they seek out more of the much-needed drug.
People who are addicted to Vicodin have been known to commit crimes to get more of the drug. Many of these actions are due to the fear of pain and withdrawal symptoms from Vicodin.
